Download or read book The Politics of Adoption written by Bruno Perreau and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that French adoption policies reflect and enforce the state's notions of gender, parenthood, and citizenship. In May 2013, after months of controversy, France legalized same-sex marriage and adoption by homosexual couples. Obstacles to adoption and parenting equality remain, however—many of them in the form of cultural and political norms reflected and expressed in French adoption policies. In The Politics of Adoption, Bruno Perreau describes the evolution of these policies. In the past thirty years, Perreau explains, political and intellectual life in France have been dominated by debates over how to preserve “Frenchness,” and these debates have driven policy making. Adoption policies, he argues, link adoption to citizenship, reflecting and enforcing the postcolonial state's notions of parenthood, gender, and Frenchness. After reviewing the complex history of adoption, Perreau examines French political debates over adoption, noting, among other things, that intercountry adoptions stirred far less controversy than the difference between the sexes in an adopting couple. He also discusses judicial action on adoption; child welfare agencies as gatekeepers to parenthood (as defined by experts); the approval process from the viewpoints of social workers and applicants; and adoption's link to citizenship, and its use as a metaphor for belonging. Adopting a Foucaultian perspective, Perreau calls the biopolitics of adoption “pastoral”: it manages the individual for the good of the collective “flock”; it considers itself outside politics; and it considers not so much the real behavior of individuals as an allegorical representation of them. His argument sheds new light on American debates on bioethics, identity, and citizenship.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La technicité et le savoir-faire de l’éleveur constituent les clés essentielles de la réussite d’un atelier de productions animales. La production caprine en est une illustration toute particulière, l’élevage de la chèvre étant destiné à la fourniture de lait, de viande, et plus rarement de fibre textile avec la production de mohair. Le guide de l’éleveur de chèvres dresse un panorama exhaustif et documenté d’une production emblématique française. L’ouvrage fait le point sur tous les aspects fondateurs d’une filière de qualité : • la première partie dresse un état des lieux de la filière caprine et présente son organisation à travers les différents systèmes de production et les organismes de services • la deuxième partie aborde les composantes de la production caprine (sélection, reproduction, élevage des jeunes, alimentation, soins, logement et équipements d’élevage) en s’appuyant sur des bases scientifiques et zootechniques actualisées et rationnelles • la troisième partie traite des aspects technico-économiques, abordant tant les résultats de l’élevage que des éléments de références stabilisés. L’ensemble permet ainsi de porter un diagnostic sur l’atelier déjà existant, ou de réaliser une étude prévisionnelle de son futur atelier de production caprine. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, s’adresse aux chevriers déjà installés ou en réflexion sur leur projet d’installation, à tous les acteurs de la filière caprine ainsi qu’aux enseignants, formateurs et étudiants en enseignement agricole, sans oublier les personnes qui méconnaissent la multitude de métiers que les éleveurs de chèvres doivent savoir maîtriser c’est-à-dire producteur de lait, et bien souvent aussi fromager et commerçant. De plus, il intéressera les éleveurs amateurs qui sont souvent à la recherche de conseils pratiques et de connaissances plus précises sur les soins à apporter à leur troupeau.

Download or read book Adopting and Advocating for the Special Needs Child written by Linda Anne Babb and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1997-05-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting and Advocating for the Special Needs Child bridges the gap between the desire to help a waiting child and the reality of America's special needs adoption system. It is designed to be used by adoption professionals and adoptive parents, to help them get started, keep going, and locate whatever additional information and support they need. The authors are adoption professionals, long-time support volunteers, child advocates, and mothers of a total of 21 children, 13 of them adopted children with special needs. Tens of thousands of children in the United States alone are waiting in foster care for parents, and many Americans, single and married, want to open their hearts and homes to these children who wait. A landmark 1980 federal law made adopting and raising special needs children affordable even for people of limited means. What could be easier than matching these kids to these families? The reality is that many prospective adopters never complete the adoption process because of red tape, regulations, and institutional lethargy. Among the adults who complete a homestudy or placement, lack of support services and advocacy training sometimes leads to heartbreak and adoption failure—not a happy ending. Adopting and Advocating for the Special Needs Child bridges the gap between the desire to help a waiting child and the reality of America's special needs adoption system. It is designed to be used by adoption professionals and adoptive parents, to help them get started, keep going, and locate whatever additional information and support they need. The authors are adoption professionals, long-time support volunteers, child advocates, and mothers of a total of 23 children, 14 of them adopted children with special needs.
